Non-Linear Optics

Advanced optical solutions for laser harmonic generation and frequency conversion.

Leaders in Non-Linear Optics

At Quantum Technology, Inc. (QTI), we’ve been at the forefront of non-linear optics (NLO) for over five decades. Our expertise lies in developing and applying NLO crystals to create laser harmonics and convert frequencies, empowering industries like research, manufacturing, and defense with precision optical solutions.

From our pioneering work with tetragonal arsenate crystals to our advanced harmonic generation systems, we’re committed to delivering industry-standard products that meet the highest performance and reliability standards

What is Nonlinear Optics?

Nonlinear optics is the branch of optics that studies the properties and the interaction of light in a medium where the polarization density interacts nonlinearly with the electric field of light.

Nonlinear optics emerged in the 1960s with the advent of lasers. Over time, it has matured into an exciting and rapidly growing field that plays a significant role in the development of photonic technology and its various applications, such as optical computers, optical signal processing, sensors, ultrafast switches, laser amplifiers, and ultra-short pulsed lasers.

Our Non-Linear Optical Crystals

We specialize in growing and applying a wide range of non-linear optical (NLO) and electro-optical (EO) crystals, each designed for specific laser applications

Tetragonal Arsenates

Our tetragonal arsenate crystals—such as ADA, AD*A, RDA, RD*A, CDA, and CD*A—are engineered for efficient harmonic generation and frequency conversion, making them ideal for advanced laser systems.

Electro-Optical Crystals

We also grow EO crystals like ADP, AD*P, KDP, KD*P, and LiIO3, which are used in applications requiring precise light modulation and control.

Versatile NLO Crystals

Our portfolio includes crystals like BBO, LBO, KTP, LiNbO3, LiTaO3, and AgGaSe2, which support processes such as mixing, matching, multiplying, and optical parametric oscillation (OPO) to generate a wide range of laser frequencies.
